I love how you walk us through the process…even the stuff that didn’t come out or go back is perfectly. Thank you muchly.

[@Daninater]

I just finished my PASSENGER side CV Axel and it was super easy to follow her video, I felt like a champion pole vaulting my old axel into my yard having finally found reason for my vibration under acceleration, tires rubbing during turns. This video is sort of mis-labeled, most of the work she's doing is fooling with the damn ball joint instead of disconnecting the strut tower. I'm going to go launch the other cv axel into my neighbors yard after I'm done this time. It feels so great to correct this.

Very nice video, as other that I see from 1Aauto, I have a v70II_2006 and your information and professionalism is very appreciate.

Thanks for the tip of putting the prybar there instead of fiddling with straps and blocks. It was still a bear to do on my knees in the gravel. Needed a helper to pry. I'm absolutely bushed from wrestling with that swede

[@Richbowker]

Great video! How much lift is acceptable on the shaft where it comes out of the transmission? Mine has about 2mm of lift. I fear the end of the shaft where the circlip is has snapped.

[@PiotrdejnekaPl-fotograf]

Thank you. My 2004 Volvo XC70 taken to automotive repair shop for CV Axle replacement. Was told he was having a hard time removing Axle from transmission. Second call he broke Axle flush with the transmission. I see how you used Axle Fork to properly remove axle. Volvo had to be towed out from shop. No longer drivable. 😢

[@thetheDMT]

a woman after my heart, great video✌️

[@ddd3d714]

Thank you so much I did it on my car. Thanks to you.👍

[@ylevane]

Nice job! Is the replacement similar with Volvo XC70 (manual)?

[@Johans60]

To remove the lower nut is much easier, you also need a special tool to drive in the balljoint, if you use only the bolts to drive it in the balljoint will bend. Whait i allways do is to loosen the front rubber and then first mount the balljoint and then the front rubber

[@1AAuto]

+Johans60 Thanks for the feedback!

[@duncanread3989]

Just did one of these; ball joint manufacturer's instructions said specifically that bolts should not be used to pull joint into knuckle. There's a specialized tool; but careful work with an air hammer works fine. I'm sure a hammer and punch would work fine as well, albeit slowly.

[@1AAuto]

+Duncan Read Thanks for the tip!

[@rogertellefsen4974]

Great video. Question - on the 2001 S80 the "c-clip" on the driver's side is on the outer end of the transmission shaft (not on the axle shaft like in this video) and that makes inserting the axle very difficult. Would moving the "c-clip" into its seat at the bottom of the axle spline well and then inserting the axle onto the transmission shaft be a good move?

[@michaelleerossman1864]

No because it needs to be hammered back in just like she hammered in between the old one to remove it. That c ring fits in the transmission c slot. I found out the hard way that removing it causes the axle to move back and forth and eventually can dislodge. That's the only thing that she forgot to do was to hammer the axle in the transmission and make it flush. Hammering it in with a chisel will not damage anything as long as the teeth are in the way she wiggled it in.

[@Gus11445]

@@michaelleerossman1864 Please help me if you can as I've been looking for an answer for my 04 s80 t6 driver side cv axle problem. I've replaced the driver side a couple times over the years and I notice mine will slide in and out of transmission where it is inserted, maybe a half inch of play in and out instead of being "tight" in. The axle can be hammered or tapped in even more to be flush you are saying? This would explain a lot but never heard of anyone having to hammer in an axle. I simply "popped" it in, and it seemed alright, but it has this little play I'm concerned it isn't installed all the way.

[@ciscomartinez3820]

I’m not able to pull the control arm low enough to get the ball joint in the socket. I’m using the same TRQ struts and when wheel hub is connected to struts, it’s way too low to align with control arm. It’s also pulling the cv axle joint boot out way too much that I’m afraid it might tear. Any advice is much appreciated thanks.

[@joshdmt]

lifesaver, got it done. excellent tutorial, much appreciated 👍✌️

[@jpitt32]

In the absence of an axle fork, is it safe to use a slide hammer to remove the old axle from transmission?

[@reallyhappenings5597]

yes but use with a cv axle puller attachment

[@reallyhappenings5597]

OTC makes a special tool for the ball joints, far superior

[@mikeh8008]

Will this work with a 04 xc70 2.5t. It’s a P2

[@1AAuto]

It should be the same or a similar procedure. +Mike H

[@bobcougar77]

Probably a dumb question but how do you get the wheel to turn freely? I can do it by turning on the ignition but then by the time i'm done the battery is dead. Is there another way?

[@GirlsNDragons]

Release your outer tie rod. Wheel turns freely

[@renanpatolilic7308]

do we need to drain the transmission fluid prior to removing the axle?

[@1AAuto]

+Renan Patolilic If you pull out the entire axle right from the gearbox, then yes, you'll have to drain it. If it's just the cv joint, then no, just slide it out and put the new one in.

[@sat_sonic]

You have a lift but aren’t using air tools? Good video though, very informative.

[@chien-shengtsai8626]

Good job, but don't hit on the threads of the ball joint.

[@1AAuto]

+Chien-sheng Tsai Thanks for the tip!

[@kevinkitchens1703]

Don't forget the assembly line, even wd-40 works makes stuff a bit easier

[@marcoperez6952]

Where do you get the axle tool to pop out the axle?

[@gerardjones7881]

[@BryanDeLauder]

There is a tool for putting the ball joint back in so you aren’t relying on the screws to compress it back into the socket. I never use thread locker on these either because it will make it hard to change next time.

[@1AAuto]

+Bryan DeLauder Thanks for the tip!

Have one thing to say, dont evet use some lube when you fitting..

Ok, so clearly the torque bar link isn't to what you are using. I am curious what you are actually using. Thanks

[@NRecob]

I need no alignment when my mechanic changes my cv axles.....

[@steveprentice4513]

You don't hit on thread's!

[@tobiasskoog5422]

You dont need to lose all that parts to change axle on this car. You only need to lose the centerbolt and those two strut bolts.

[@CMC5961]

Good point!

[@reallyhappenings5597]

reconnecting will be difficult in that case. you have to be able to push down on the hub and control arm to make it align with the strut

[@Panth0n]

This technique won't ruin the wheel alignment, yours will. Pick one.

[@kamillysionek5394]

Jesus what kind of Animal did that!!!!

[@Paul-sw4vc]

Not accurate at all! That Axle is nearly welded in there.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

this is hack work. two separate instances of not using proper tools

[@rconnjr]

Elaborate.
